    Can anyone tell me what I have here - old bolt action ID?

    Can anyone ID this rifle? It appears to be a sporterized military rifle, but I'm not sure what kind. Only other markings (without taking scope/stock off) are E's on the bolt, bolt release, and safety, and I can see the top of what looks like "EYO" in script on the L side of the reciever. Scope...

    Best gun store in East Bay/Oakland?

    I am going pistol shopping for the wife and am looking for some recommendations on gun shops in the East Bay/Oakland area (I am in Oakland, so closer the better). I would like her to handle as many different firearms as possible to find something that fits her best (she has small and weak...

    PDoggin'? Not enough to go around?

    I was always under the impression that these little bugger were rampant. Is that not the case? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090201/ap_on_re_us/prairie_dogs

    Does anyone sell a 270 in a V-Max loading?

    I know that 110gr Vmax bullets can be bought in 270, but is anyone aware of any company selling a loaded cartridge with that setup for varmints? I can't seem to find one. I don't reload, and can't start at this time, so it's not an option for me. I did see a company on the web called lee's...

    Why not the .429 magnum?

    Seriously. Why didn't 44sp/44mag nomenclature follow that of the 38sp/357mag? Is there a reason other than marketing?

    GP100 trigger job? Compare with S&W?

    Spinoff from the "perfect GP100 thread"... Hello all, I have a 4" SS GP100 that I will like to improve the tigger on. I have put a couple thousand round through it and dryfired at least that many times. The DA pull is pretty smooth, though heavy. The SA is pretty heavy and there is some creep...

    Scope on a 4" GP100?

    Anyone out there scope a 4" GP100? I am thinking about putting on a red dot for longer range target stuff and maybe a deer hunt. I know it will need to be drilled, but any advice on specific scopes that work well with the GP100? I am considering one of the cheap red dots; it seems they do fine...

    22LR Revolvers in California?

    It seems the only 22 revolvers legal for sale in CA are Smiths (617) which are a bit pricey for a plinking and practice range gun. I love shooting my 4" GP100, but a few boxes of magnum loads plus range fees is getting pricey. I was looking into something like a Taurus 94 4" to give me a similar...

    Help me choose a pistol for small weak hands.

    No, not mine. My only gun is a 4" GP100 for home defense. My girlfriend has very small and weak hands. She cannot shoot my GP100 (with hogue grip) double-action because of the trigger reach. I rented a SP101 for her, and her hand was a good fit, but she lacked the strength to easily pull the...

    New member, question about GP100 grips

    Hello all, first post here and first time gun owner of a new SS GP100 4". I've shot 38s, 9mms, 40s, 410 pistols, 12ga, but never a 357 mag. Looking forward to it. I bought the gun for home defense (can't carry in LA), occasional target shooting and perhaps for defense while fly fishing in...
